Presentacion:

Glennray Tutor (born 1950 in Kennett, Missouri) is an American painter living in Oxford, Mississippi. His painting technique consists of oil paint applied with brushes to prepared canvas or paper in the "Old Masters" manner of Vermeer and other Dutch classicists. He is considered to be part of the Photorealism art movement and the new Hyper-realism movement. His color and detail imbued subject matter consists of commonplace artifacts of daily life, such as glass jars, cola bottles, marbles, comic books and fireworks. Glennray Tutor is credited as being the first artist to merge Pop Art with metaphor. In a 1986 essay, author Barry Hannah described Tutor's art as Deep Pop. Tutor, interviewed, has said, "My paintings consist of contemporary subjects used metaphorically. In my work I'm exploring various visual qualities of objects, as well as orchestrating ideas that I find alluring, such as: communication and relationship, time, narrative, childhood and adulthood, cosmic and quantum physics. My painting compositions are an interplay of the visual, emotional and intellectual."

Once one's amazement at the astonishing precision in the paintings of Glennray Tutor has had time to sink in, the opportunity arises to contemplate the visual eloquence in his depictions of the small artifacts of life, and how such compositions can say profound things about the nature of our existence.
--From Deep Pop, an essay by Barry Hannah, 1986.
